Rowan of Rin

(2) 4-6 When the mountain stream stops flowing, Rowan's peaceful village is threatened with extinction. Six villagers volunteer to investigate, but a witch gives them a map that reveals itself only when Rowan is holding it, forcing him, small and afraid as he is, to accompany the adventurers. One after another, the travelers confront a secret fear and drop out, leaving Rowan alone at the top--an earned success that emerges naturally from the rising action.
